The goal of faculty development is to promote upskilling of the instructional com-petencies of university teachers. One of the most critical issues is evaluating the effec-tiveness of the training; to this aim, defining an evaluation plan beforehand is crucial [1]. Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Training Evaluation [2] is a popular model to evaluate the efficacy of training within an organization. It consists of 4 levels: reaction, learning, behavior, and results, each level being measured trough different indicators defined a priori. The Teaching and Learning Development (TILD) project is a faculty develop-ment research-formation program that has been active from 2020 to 2022 at the Uni-versity of Foggia [3].

This article evaluates the effectiveness of the training at the Results level through the analysis of the syllabi of participants before
